Tapping into a world of adversarial role, fighting to control and rule the world, is an overwhelming leap of joy with mechanics and features like HK.

Very nice visuals (cut scenes and in game) but sadly the gameplay / UI mechanics are a total disaster.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

Narrator and overall sound design (-leaders voice lines) is the best part of the game (maybe that's where all the budget went lol), but good x4 needs good gameplay mechanics first and foremost.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
